HW: 1986 or 1987 Leeds gig

[Richard Lockwood]

I was there.  Acid Daze II - Sometime between October 87 and June 88 - so
Nov 87 fits that.  Part of a three day fesival - a spacerock day, a 70s day
(Headlined by Gary Glitter) and (I think) a punk day.  Calvert wasn't
there - Suicide played.  I think it was their last UK appearence until a
coupla years ago.  The rest of the lineup's spot on.  (Acid Daze I featured
Gaye Bykers on Acid).

Cheers,

Rich.
